One of the challenges is the sheer volume of amazing things to choose from.
For my siblings I decided on a 'theme' for each of them to help me shop and I thought I'd share some of the cool shops I found in my travels.
My 30 year old sister has a thing for monkeys. On one hand she always loved her sock monkey and Curious George. On the other hand, when our mother had us pick a name for our 'a-hem' as little girls we chose monkey. And then my husband began calling our daughter Monkey as a nickname from birth and well, my sister has never been the same since. She is so conflicted.
And then I found *this* necklace~ the PERFECT gift for her! It fills me with glee! A couple other sock monkey items round out her gift.



My 23 year old brother (yes, twins) is almost impossible. He is too cool for school . But I love a challenge. He also likes to party, and has a wickedly wonderful sense of humour. So I got him a tshirt 'Instruments of War' (despite his ban on anyone buying him clothing) and a mustache bottle opener/ keychain (for the young man who has everything!).


I'll share some of the handamde kid's goodies in another post :)
Go get your 'staches on!
